When I Look At You (A Zayn Malik Love Story)

Chapter 18 We Need To Talk

Zayn:

I driving was  driving Penny home. Neither she nor I was speaking a word in the car. I was concentrating on my driving whereas she, she seemed lost in her own world.

I couldn't handle the silence anymore. I had to speak to her.

"Penny is something wrong?" I asked.

"Umm nothing, just hoping i didn't make a scene infront of your friends," she turned to smile at me.

I smiled back at her. I am sure others loved her, Louis specially.

"Penny don't worry, everybody loved having you to dinner," I said.

"Yeah I hope so," she said nervously. Nope! She isn't worrying about this, there is something else.

Though I shouldn't ask her now. I need to talk to her about something else.

"Penny I need to ask you something," I said. My own voice sounded very grave. From the corner of my eyes I saw Penny look at me, confused.

"What is it Zayn?" She asked.

I the car haulted infront of her street and then turn to look at her.

Penny looked at me in haste. Though I felt I knew Penny from inside out but still she seemed a mystery to me.  Like a jigsaw puzzle, whose missing piece is still to be found.

"Zayn now you are scaring me," she nearly whispered.

"Penny were you in a band?" I said.

Then i saw her go all pale hearing my question. Her eyes seemed to bulge and her breathing starting to increase.

'Damn it Zayn, You are such a douche,' i thought to myself.

i immediately took Penny in my arms. Her breathing was still ravaging but I felt she was calming down.

"Zayn...." She was sobbing now,

"Shshshh..It's alright if you don't want to tell," I said fearing my urge to know more about her will hurt her instead,

"No its not about that,ah, I have to tell you," her sobs continued.

"Penny......"

"No Zayn," she broke off from our embrace and looked at me directly in my eyes.

"We need to talk about this," she said wiping her tears off.

In a Nearby Park:

We were walking in a deserted park. I thought it would be nice if we talked here rather than in the car.

It was cool autumn night.. Breeze was sweeping off our hair. I was liking it.

It was cloudless dark night. I wouldn't say that London was a pollution free city but by some miracle it was stary night.

We sat down on a park bench. Penny put her head on my shoulder and my head on hers. No matter how much romantic setting it is, we still needed to talk.

"It all started when I was a freshman in the school," she said with a sigh.

"Anna and I were best friends since we were in kindergaten, we both were hugely excited to go to high school, Anna for.....well she is a die hard romantic so you can guess why  she was excited and I... wanted to sing and conquer to world," Penny said this in such a edge that I could have guessed that she might have succeded in doing that.

"Anna and I wanted to start our own band, Anna could play drums and I well you know guitar. Life out there in school seemed like a dream come true. We eventually made a band. Me, Anna , Lexi and Shana," Her voice broke when she said those names.

She looked up and I put my hand on hers and pulled her up in my lap.

"Our music teacher said we were the new sensation in making. Anna and Lexi were best mates and me and Shana. I couldn't ask for anything better right at that time," Penny said.

"Then in my life Micheal came........." And her voice broke and she started crying.

Micheal!!! Penny's ex-boyfriend! So thats why.

"Then what Penny," I urged her but Penny continued crying. I let her cy. It must have been too much for her.

"Zayn, why does life be so unfair? Why can't we let go of our  past?" She said when she somewhat stopped crying.

"Because we only don't let it go." I said.

She looked at me with her grave eyes and then she in an instant kissed me. This time our kiss was more like never-leave-me.

For a moment I was startled by her response but I ultimately gave up. We kissed for like how many minutes. At last Penny broke off our kiss and started gasping for air.

I chuckled at her response.

"Do you want to tell me the rest of the thing?" I couldn't help but ask her.

"For today its enough, I will tell you the rest of the story when I am a little more steady," she laughed.

She seemed more normal. My Penny is back.

"Why? Did my kissing expertise made you dizzy?" I teased her.

She laughed even more and hugged me.

"Thanks Zayn, for being with me," she whispered in my ears.

"Forever and always." I whipered back in to her ears,
